Chapter 125: The glory of the empire spreads far and wide, and the brave are all benefited,(1/2)
Walking on the street, a gentle mountain breeze blows towards you, which makes people suddenly feel refreshed!
The young orc of the fox clan, Zhao Ye, was wearing a military uniform and a medal on his chest, and walked towards the market with a light pace. Because the medals shining on his chest were shining, the orcs were afraid when they saw it, while the Yanhuang people looked up at it.
Level 20 military title system!
Yanhuang people are born first-class citizens and have the highest civil title. If they have enough education and talent, they can become state officials directly.
The blood moon orc who surrendered was a third-class citizen with a grade eighth-level title. The medal on Zhao Ye’s chest means that he has made meritorious contributions to the country and a grade nine-level title, which is equivalent to a Yanhuang man who has violated a lighter law.
Wearing a military uniform and a breastplate, the medal was promoted. This was obviously stained with blood from the Blood Moon Man on his hands. Therefore, the locals looked at Zhao Ye with fear and a faint hatred. However, Zhao Ye didn't care about this because he knew that he had the same look when he looked at the landlord and noble masters back then, so Zhao Ye even felt very enjoyable.
Tieling City is in the mountains and forests, so you can buy the freshest animal meat at the market every morning. Now he has established a firm foundation in Tieling City, so he naturally has to add some meat to his family from time to time.
Because of the natural environment outside, animal meat is very cheap. A large piece of pork is only three or five pieces of Yanhuang coins. If you buy a fresh pork leg, you can eat it for several days.
At the market, Zhao Ye quickly selected the goods and returned to the place where he lived. If it was just now, he would have to go to the garrison to report immediately after he returned.
The small courtyard where Zhao Ye lives is located on the east side of Tieling City. It is a two-bedroom and one-living living room with an independent brick and tiled yard. There is a dug drainage ditches outside and a digging well next to it. There is a little land in the small courtyard, and it is empty for drying clothes. He sorted it out two days ago and planted some vegetables with his sister, so that he would buy everything from outside without any vegetables in the future.
Although he has become an imperial soldier and his salary has gradually improved, Zhao Ye still knows that he has to be careful in his life.
"Here I'm back."
My sister's gentle voice sounded in her ears. She silenced her hand at Zhao Ye and said in a low voice: "Mother is sleeping in the house. Why have you bought so many things back? What if you can't finish eating?"
"My mother likes to eat meat porridge very much. In the past, she was always reluctant to let her go. Now that we are all grown up, we always have to let her eat a few more bites of what she likes."
"Okay, okay, I'll stew it for my mother in a while."
Although Zhao Ye joined the Yanhuang Tieling Gage Force and received a generous reward compared to the local residents, whenever Zhao Ye wanted to persuade his sister not to go to work again and his income was enough for the family, his sister always shook her head stubbornly.
She has always been a very strong woman, perhaps because of the tradition of their family, and her mother raised them in this way.
Many orc families are like this, with mothers but not fathers. In the traditional concept of orcs, there is a lack of a sense of responsibility to raise children.
The breakfast was white porridge, the side dishes were salted fish, bread and eggs cooked by my sister.
Meat and breakfast of this level were not available before the army of the ancient Yanhuang Kingdom drove here, orcs and civilians had no chance to enjoy it, and the daily life of the landlord and nobles was nothing more than that.
The local military controls lunch and dinner, and the training is very strict. As the elite selected, Zhao Ye did not patrol like other militias and did not finish it. Instead, he received very strict and professional martial arts training every day, and even had to learn some cultural knowledge. This also led to his appetite, and his sister just smiled gently beside him and added some food from time to time.
Although before the empire's future, he was actually a militia in the town, protecting those landlords never made Zhao Ye feel like he was supporting a home like he is today.
Although most of the Yanhuang people are arrogant and divide orcs into third-class citizens, being third-class citizens in the ancient Yanhuang Kingdom is much better than being a untouchable in the original environment. Moreover, the Yanhuang people really attach importance to meritorious deeds. Many contents and clauses in the twenty-level military rank system are stiff and hard indicators. If they are achieved, they will be promoted. If they are not achieved, they will not be promoted. Even if the Blood Moon Orcs lead a team of Yanhuang people, those Yanhuang people will also obey management.
This strict and fair rule made Zhao Ye more determined and more ambitious. This mentality was something that the decadent orc country had never given him... As long as he offered his loyalty and efforts to the empire, the empire would give any loyal people the opportunity to climb up and move forward.
In private, some people said that there will be a group of official titles in Tieling City and candidates will be selected from the elite troops. Zhao Ye didn't know if this was true, but he knew that the troops he stayed in were eliminated every day, and he absolutely did not want to be eliminated.
Because he wants to pursue honor, to give his sister and mother a better and happier life.
While eating, my sister's gentle prayer came from my ears. For Zhao Ye, the huge empire, the master of war and destruction, was more like a strong man he worshiped, rather than a god he believed in.
But Zhao Ye’s sister is different. After the faith in the Yanhuang divine system has spread, prayer has occupied a very important part of her sister’s life. Whenever she eats, she will pray devoutly, thanking the gods for everything given to her. Although this is not a formal prayer ceremony, every time her sister prays, he will bow his head down.
"Thanks to the immortal gods in heaven, the great Lord of War, and the supreme Lord of the Three Realms."
"Thank you for bringing us a new life. Stay away from disease and hunger, stay away from pain and disaster."
"Thank you for giving us all this!"
"May the glory of my Lord spread throughout the earth!"
After praying, the siblings and brothers enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast together. When they were about to finish their meal, Zhao Ye said, "Sister, I have something to discuss with you."
As he said that, he took out a photo from his arms and pushed it to his sister. Then Zhao Ye continued to say, "This person is an old comrade-in-arms of our instructor. He is 12th-level official and retired from the army due to business injuries. He has permanently enjoyed state allowances. He has now settled in Tieling City. I have seen him, and he is not very good at speaking, but I can see that he is a very honest and honest person. If you like him, you can be a hostess at home in the future. Even if you only enjoy the state allowances, you will be the best in the city."
"Also, Yanhuang people are different from us orcs. They pay attention to family inheritance and attach importance to blood descendants. Sister, you will not encounter the grief of your mother."
"Why, are you disliked your sister now?"
"No. Sister, you are gentle and beautiful, but you are so kind-hearted. If you marry into those big businessmen's houses, you will be easily bullied. Although this elder brother Wang is a little older and has injuries on his legs, he is strong and has no bad habits. He joined the army when he was young. Sister, you can control him tightly, so it is easier to have a happy life." After all, he is of the orc bloodline of the fox clan, born with a flexible mind and clear mouth. After Zhao Ye said this, his sister lowered her head and looked at the photos, nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet."
"Okay, I'll tell Brother Wang now."
Because my sister agreed to this blind date and knew that the matter had already been done, Zhao Ye was in a very good mood after breakfast.
On the one hand, it was because she found a safe and reliable destination for her sister, and on the other hand, it was because the fox girl married the Yanhuang official title, not only gained the right to be a citizen of the same level, but also obtained the first-level promotion authority of a relative. In this way, she was one step closer to the title of Tieling City.
The ambitions of small people are also growing and expanding little by little. Even the humblest untouchables also long to make themselves better in the future. People like Zhao Ye who are increasingly qualified to go further are even more unlikely not to be moved by it or go crazy about it.
Just as Zhao Ye was surging and couldn't help but speed up his pace and wanted to lead to a better future earlier, bursts of gunfire came from afar, and at the same time, the crowds in the market gradually became chaotic. This situation made Zhao Ye's eyes lit up, and he knew that another opportunity to make contributions had come.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm from the garrison." He took out his gun with his left hand and copied out the rune scimitar with his right hand. Zhao Ye pushed the crowd away from the left and right and jumped onto the high wall, running towards the place where the guns and cannons came. The orcs have inherent advantages in practicing martial arts. Even the orcs are willing to work hard and endure hardships. In addition, the military has achieved rapid qigong. Today, Zhao Ye is already a second-level warrior, especially good at using sword techniques to fight!
……………………
Tieling City is built beside the mountains, and there are only roads entering and leaving the south. At this time, gunfire sounds like rain on the corners of the city wall, which makes people's eardrums hurt like fried beans. At the foot of the mountain, balls of fire rose, and from time to time, flames hit the city wall, and stone chips flew everywhere.
In the fire, there was a golden wolf-headed flag at the foot of the mountain. Xu Zhenyu, who was watching behind the wall, said in surprise: "It's the Xilin Guard!"
He is a native native of this area. The fierce and brutal Xilin Guard werewolf tribe has long been a nightmare for their tribe, so he has a deep memory of the ferocious roaring wolf-headed flag in the blood and fire.
"Horseman, our auxiliary army suffered a great loss in their hands, be careful." Xu Zhenyu boldly reminded Zhang Lie.
Zhang Lie said coldly: "What is Xilin Guard? I will kill it today!"
At the beginning of the expansion of the empire, it was far from the time to decay from prosperity to decline. Zhang Lie himself was a fanatical believer of the god of war. The more intense the war, the more murderous intent in his eyes, and the more amazing the red color was.
The highest commander of the City Defense Force came to the front line, and the Yanhuang troops on the front line of the City Defense Force fought more and more resolutely and fiercely. A series of dense firepower nets fell across. Even if they were forcibly broken through by the wolf troops of the Xilin Guards, the Yanhuang troops, which had equally good martial arts qualities, were no inferior in close combat.
Gunshots, cannons, explosions, long swords twisted each other, sparks and blood filled the air.
In the dark shadows in the city, the general of the Xilin Guards, Tsashi Shamanda, looked as heavy as a rock.
The Yanhuang people in the city were extremely alert. Even though they had already covered up the hiding with their magical power, their sentry still noticed it in time and notified the attack to the city, which turned the original surprise attack into a frontal attack. The corner towers that seemed to be built to whitewash the beauty were hidden at this moment, and suddenly it turned into a dense firepower net. The sound of heavy machine guns that seemed to never stop was fired, like a harvester that strangled the flesh and blood, I don’t know how many warriors who charged like waves had taken away their lives.
Many times, the bloodthirsty wolf warriors cannot find anyone to fight in close combat. Although the Xilin Guard has also begun to be equipped with guns, the seized guns are sufficient in wartime, but the training is far from enough. If this is used to assist in combat, it is okay to use this main force to fight, which is about to be attacked by the enemy's strengths with its own shortcomings.
At this point, Zhaxi Shamanda reached out and held the enchanted axe behind him, and then he suddenly rushed out of the cover of the cover.
It held a heavy machine gun in one hand in its left hand, and it was as easy as wielding straw. It was obviously a heavy machine gun, but under the control of its outstanding personal qualities, it forced it to use the killing effect of a sniper rifle. Under the shooting of the gun fire, the gun holes everywhere were suppressed and silenced.
"Udar, holy charge!"
"Udar!"
The pure golden fighting spirit spread around Tashishamanda. It charged and shot, and even collapsed a building in a very arrogant manner. Not far away, Tashishamanda's servant shouted loudly. Immediately, the "Udar" sound like a tide from all directions rushed straight into the sky in the darkness. In the raging fire, fanatical emotions filled the chest of each wolf soldier. At this time, even if there was a cliff ahead, they would rush up without hesitation.
Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the warriors, Tsashi Shamanda felt his blood surge, and his depressed mood just now swept away. Yes, the invincible Xilin Guards shouldered the heavy responsibility of punishing all pagans. The pagans in the city should tremble in the wrath of my god.
"Warriors, there are pagans from the East ahead, kill them all!" As the attendants shouted loudly, countless black shadows jumped up, surging like a tide.
At this moment, a huge explosion suddenly sounded near the left, screaming endlessly, followed by dense machine gun shooting, which seemed to be less than two hundred meters away from Tashi Shaman.
The charge like a tide was dispersed head-on, and the brave and fierce Tashishamanda was stunned. What's going on? With a bang, he was knocked down by the guard beside him, and the stray bullet flew over and flew over the side of his cheek.
The middle wolf army of the second column, waiting for the charge, encountered a sudden and violent blow and immediately became in chaos. The first column that had just launched the charge also appeared in chaos. At this time, the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, and the Xicheng Gate suddenly opened. A Yanhuang City Guard troops jumped out and launched a scattered charge from a high place. Heavy machine gun fire suppression, grenades, these attacks fell like raindrops. I don’t know who was shouting: “Yanhuang people, there are Yanhuang people everywhere!”
The Xilin Guards of the First Column were already depressed. The frenzy that had just been forcibly inspired by Tashi Shamanda was suddenly poured in cold water. They could not bear the ups and downs in their hearts and were immediately defeated.
Just as Zashishamanda roared and called on the soldiers to gather, the signal flares that were drawn from the distance made the wolf's heart silence, but it did not believe that the reinforcements of the Yanhuang people would arrive so quickly. Just when it was still struggling with whether the pagans were making a fool of themselves, the gunfire sounded loudly in the direction of Xicheng, and the column serving as a warning shot out the signal flares: they had encountered fierce attacks from the enemy.
Now that Tashishamanda did not hesitate anymore, he hurriedly ordered the servants to order the entire army to retreat, but in this case, he would be defeated as if he retreated.
The gap between the military command arts of the two sides is too big. Although the comprehensive military qualities are similar, the individual combat quality of the Xilin Guard is even stronger, but this advantage is suppressed by the gap between geographical advantage and firepower. It is okay to take the Xilin Guard, who is coming and going like a wind, to fight guerrilla warfare. Now, when it is discovered in advance, it is not so suitable for siege operations.
What's more, Zhang Lie is smart in his combat techniques. With the disadvantage of his troops and difficulty in defense, he still insists on using the garrison army that has not yet completed training to attack the Xilin Guards. This is a very risky and dangerous move. If the morale of the Xilin Guards has not completely collapsed, the Xilin Guards will be like putting down the advantages of city defense and firepower suppression to fight with the enemy in close combat.
In that case, one's own side will use one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
However, the dark night was invisibly strengthening the fear in people's hearts. The shocking casualties of the front team, and the suddenly cut squadron, made the enemy mistakenly think that Yanhuang reinforcements had arrived. They were defeated and fell. Many werewolfs directly threw away the unfamiliar guns in their hands and ran away frantically.
At this time, Zhao Ye, a young man from the fox clan who had already been hidden in the shadow, suddenly pounced down with red eyes. The fox tribe was born to take shortcuts by tricks, so Zhao Ye's sword technique was a strange route, killing Wufeng, and his moves were aimed at the fatal key points. In this extremely chaotic situation, even a master who was obviously stronger than him would be killed by him once he plotted against him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Xu Zhenyu, a young wolf clan, also had a similar mentality. He chased the defeated soldiers like he was desperate to kill. The twenty-level military merit system had a great impact on morale.
In the darkness that night, screams and gunfire were everywhere, and it was not until dawn that it stopped intermittently.
Date: August 18, Kundu, the border city of the ancient Yanhuang Kingdom and Xilin, one month after the battle to defend the city.
Although with the Hundred Years of War, the power and power of the Eastern Empire spread more and more to the surrounding areas, and more and more Chinese merchants flocked to the surrounding areas to make gold, few people paid attention to Xilin, a poor country.
It is not that it is unprofitable, but that the power of the ancient Yanhuang Kingdom is expanding madly at this moment, with profits everywhere and profitable. In comparison, the Xilin Market, a group of rude, barbaric, and stupid orcs, really does not have much value in dealing and exploitation.
When establishing industries, local stability is the top priority. Many orcs are poor and violent. Even if the Yanhuang merchants are not afraid, they will never be able to invest here with the intention of making money.
However, because this city is also a key route for military material transportation, some military traders came here to trade, and Kundu City also owned the only factory opened by Chinese merchants in Xilin: a workshop-style weaving factory. During the civil strife in Xilin, the factory owner fled back to the country. The factory was confiscated by the new Xilin government. The war broke out, and the factory's equipment was also taken by local citizens to take the opportunity to rob. After the Yanhuang army occupied Kundu City, there were only a few simple factories left in the factory, and even the wooden frames of the windows and doors were stripped away.
Two days ago, Boss Ren, a businessman who invested in a weaving factory, returned to Kundu. Seeing this, he was furious and vowed to punish these despicable thieves. He then took the local workers he had hired before to search from house to house. The newly formed Xilin Provisional Government Security Army did not dare to care about him at all. Later, he was stopped by the soldiers of Zhang Lie's troops.
In this era, soldiers have a great sense of honor, so how can they let people like him ruin their reputation?
Therefore, in the past two days, Boss Ren went to the local military headquarters to grind his teeth every day. When he saw an officer approaching the battalion commander, he told him with grievances how much property he lost and asked all the officials to make decisions for him.
The military officer on duty was so annoyed by him, but he was a Yanhuang man in front of him and could not directly pull out his gun and broke up. Therefore, he finally reported it to Zhang Lie, Zhang Lie, who assigned the matter to Zhao Ye, the newly promoted fox clan staff officer.
A truly smart and agile person is popular everywhere he goes, even in the military.
The Kundu military headquarters is now just a courtyard surrounded by temporary earthen walls. A warning platoon-level cadres are stationed in take turns on duty, while Zhang Lie stays in the military camps in the suburbs of the city most of the time, occasionally visiting the military headquarters here.
When he saw Zhao Ye coming in in the reception room of the deserted cave, Boss Ren quickly stood up and took Zhao Ye's hand. The old guy who looked extremely vulgar was almost snot and tears.
To be continued...
